I posted this here because I'm not sure where else to put it. I have a question.

Do any of you have that fat patch on your back...like a hump between your shoulder blades and below your neck? I've had one since I've been heavy and lately it has been killing me. I'd KILL for a massage right now. It comes and goes, the soreness. A couple weeks ago it was sore, but it has returned full force today.

I know it has nothing to do with my band. I thought it may be the weight loss, but why would I be sore just there?

Leslie, I have one! That's why I was so self-conscious about getting my hair cut off. My long curls hid it well, lol! I have to say that since losing weight, it has decreased in size CONSIDERABLY. At 330lbs, it stuck out like a sore thumb! I didn't have one when I was thin, so I think it will disappear once I lose all my excess weight. I can't even tell you how much better it looks now!

Hey girl! I would love to cut off my hair! DH would kill me first of all (though he isn't the one that has to take care of it) and secondly I'm waiting to see if my hump will go away. I've had short hair in the past and loved it. I thought I'd grow it out again...I'm reconsidering now though.

By the way - I love your haircut. Oh - the "before" picture you sent me - I can't convert to a jpeg. Can you reformat it? Your after (which you look great by the way) came through fine. Do you have naturally curly hair too? Mine is a bane at time and at other times I love it.

Yes, my hair is naturally curly too. I love my new haircut but I have to take the time to straighten it every day with the straight Iron. But it's all good.

About the before picture, I have no idea what you are talking about, lol! I'm not very good with stuff like that. How do I reformat it? Do you mean make it smaller? I can try to get another one if I need to. I have one I wanted to use, but it has other people in it to and I don't have a scanner to crop it. Anyway, let me know how to reformat it and I will try to send it again. Thanks!

I don't know if anyone else said this but it is called a buffalo hump. People with certain disease such as cushings get this but you can also get it from plain old fat. Lose weight and lose the pain and the hump!! =)

I have natural curly hair too. But I have to keep mine long. It doesn't look good short. I look like orphan Annie!

I hope as I lose a hump doesn't form. I know my grandma had one. I don't want one lol. I know I have a lot of back fat though.

Me too. I have back boobs!! EWWWWWWW

yep got one too. And sometimes it does hurt but for me its the muscles under/around it tend to get really tense & knot up especially If I lay down without a pillow. BF and a hand held massager usually fixes it but it can REALLY painfull when he starts to work the kinks out but when he's done it feels sooo much better.

Thank you teacherofk

I had a lot of weight to lose, so that is part of the reason why it came off so fast. Still of course it has meant huge changes on my part. I drink about 10+ glasses of Water a day and follow the bandster rule of eating Protein first. I started out by walking 20 mins a day 2 days a week and have increased it .

Besst of luck to you !

yeah back boobies suck :behindsofa:

LOL omg I LOLed:lol: I don't think mine could be mistaken cause of my nipple piercings, least I hope not, but if I had a face on the back of my head my back boobies could surely be mistaken (especially if they had nipples) LOL:tongue_smilie::grouphug::thumbup::behindsofa:
